GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an ap-
propriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Model for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has
a grounded plug that looks like the plug in "Fig. A". A
temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor in "Fig.
C" may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole re-
ceptacle as shown in "Fig. B", if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. A)
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, or wire extending from the
adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. When-
ever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by
a metal screw.The plug of "Fig. D" is only for 230V
models (*EU models).
